About Heeling Dogs
Heeling Dogs provides reward-based, concept-focused training rooted in behavioural science, emotional regulation, and understanding your dog’s brain. The focus is not on punishment, force, or simply suppressing behaviour.
Using games and training designed to strengthen calmness, confidence, focus, resilience, impulse control, and coping skills, Heeling Dogs supports dogs and their owners through reactivity, separation anxiety, fear and overwhelm, overexcitement, and everyday behaviour challenges.
Understanding your dog’s brain. Changing behaviour.
Meet Annie
Hi, I’m Annie, the founder of Heeling Dogs.
I trained to become a dog trainer with Dr. Tom Mitchell and am continuing my education training to become a canine behaviourist with Dr. Tom Mitchell and Dr. Anita Dowe from Behavet.
My work focuses on helping dog owners better understand behaviour through thoughtful, science-based training centred around emotional regulation, learning, and real-life behaviour challenges.
Client Testimonials
“Gunner has been making great progress! I was able to keep him focused on me while the trash truck went by (from the window but still a vast improvement) and that is one of his biggest triggers. The A to B management trick has been working so well in tricky situations, yesterday he had to go to the vet and he was so good. He even is able to sit calmly on the deck and watch the deer go by as long as they are far away. I am excited to see his progress in the future as we continue to work on his reactivity!”
-Jackie
“Charlie is always on high alert and barks at any noise inside and outside the house. I have implemented many of the games, rest time and eliminated his extended walks. This has really helped. He is now able to calm himself and is a much happier pup. We are so happy with the program and his progress!”
-Meg
“He’s the best! We had a bit of a breakthrough, I’m so proud! We went to Canadian Tire and I ended up getting something big so he had to walk on the floor across the whole store. He was so brave and confident and stayed right at my side. A kid screamed at him and after a tiny growl, he disengaged and kept walking!
I’m so surprised we’re seeing a difference so soon, it’s really encouraging!”
